View approved original text

Symptoms such as a tight feeling in the epigastric area, nausea or vomiting, decreased appetite, noise in the abdomen, and loose stools or tendencies toward diarrhea are related to acute or chronic gastroenteritis, indigestion, nervous gastritis, gastric weakness, and fermentative diarrhea. These symptoms may arise due to a decline in the function or inflammation of the digestive organs, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as heartburn, belching, stomatitis, and nervous irritability. In such cases, medications that can restore gastric health and improve digestive function can be helpful. This medication alleviates symptoms by relieving gastric inflammation and improving digestive functions, and it is used to increase appetite and improve diarrhea.
